Theme: A Jamaica Plain Resident Created JP Improv…

By |

Around the neighborhood you may have seen flyers advertising JP Improv. Wanting to know more, Jamaica Plain News asked Jamaica Plain resident Myles McDonough scripted questions in which he provided prepared answers. Q: Why did you want to create JP Improv? McDonough: I'd previously taught improv while at graduate school in Knoxville, TN, and I missed the community that grew up around that troupe. In addition, I saw that there weren't many nearby opportunities for people to try improv, and wanted to fix that.

Be Like Sebastian the Space Saver

By |

There are already rumblings about parking space savers in Jamaica Plain, especially following this weekend's snowfall that brought about 5 inches of the white stuff to our streets. The City of Boston issued this humorous reminder to residents today, a takeoff on a Facebook meme that's been making the rounds:

Reminder for residents: No snow emergency was declared in Boston. Space savers will be removed as trash.

Posted by City of Boston on Monday, January 25, 2016

At least some space savers have already made their way onto the streets of JP:

neighbors are the first on the block to save their spot. this time they used an unplanted tree - environmentally friendly! #jp @universalhub

And then, there's this:

OH @Boomerangs in JP: "I'm looking for something big that could be a parking space saver. A chair, maybe?"
